Sun Ray Ink Blending with Laura Bassen
Hi readers! Happy Tuesday! Please give our special guest Laura Bassen a big Simon welcome back to our store blog today! The Queen of ink blending has done it again! I think I’m especially partial to this card as it contains some of my very favorite colors! Laura worked her way from Spring Rain to Lucky to Scuba to High Dive to Blue Jay to the emphasis HOT MAMA! (<- hopefully you sang along with me there). The focal point is the gorgeous Mosaic Heart die from our newest collection, Among the Stars! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!
